The Linksys LNE100TX is a tulip-based 10/100 NIC that works with the 
stock ydl 2.3 kernel (probably the 2.2 one as well). I just put one in 
my 7500 running ydl2.3 and it works great. It should be available for 
about $25 at your local big box retailer (e.g., Best Buy).

Let's hope RealTek support becomes part of the default kernel in future 
versions, since most of the really low-end cards like the $5 CompUSA 
house brand NIC use the 8139.
